December 13, 2025: Michigan State played its first true home game today and snuck out of Happy Valley with a 76-72 win over Penn State. The game was a weird one in which MSU led by double digits in the first half but then gave it all back (and then some) managing to cut the Penn State lead to 3 by halftime, 36-33.

The second half was another blistering start for the Spartans where they got out to a 10 point lead again but then gave up 11 straight. The blown leads were largely due to a rash of Spartan turnovers as they finished with 17 leading to 23 Penn State points.

The one bright spot for Michigan State was the insertion of Divine Ugochukwu into the starting lineup where he scored 23 points on 8-10 shooting (5-5 from 3). How MSU handles the minute allocation and rotation with two point guards going forward will certainly be something to watch.

December 11, 2025: It’s our last week with just the top 4 seed lines and there hasn't been a whole lot of movement at the top. Michigan is still the overall number one seed while Iowa State and Purdue switched their two and one seeds respectively after the Cyclones went into Mackey Arena and blitzed the Boilers.

Their victory was enough to push the Big 12 above the Big 10 in the power standings. We’re getting close to the first full bracket reveal next week. Bracket Dom is putting together his list and checking to see who’s been naughty and nice. Will your team be in the field?

December 10, 2025: Michigan State dropped it’s first game of the season to top ranked Duke last Saturday and is looking to get back to its winning ways as it returns to Big Ten play Saturday in Happy Valley. There is probably no better matchup to wash away your woes then the Nittany Lions who - despite their 8-2 record - are struggling this season.

Penn State is coming off a 41 point loss to the Hoosiers in Bloomington and now they have to face the Spartans. Penn State is statistically not a very good defense which was on full exhibition against Indiana Tuesday night. Michigan State will look to exploit the Lions and see if they can get back on the horse before finishing up their non-conference schedule.

December 6, 2025: Michigan State dropped it’s first game of the season to top ranked Duke 66-60 in front of an electric crowd at the Breslin Center. As expected, it was a defensive showcase and the top 10 defenses limited the other in their shooting. In the end, Duke made just a few more plays and shots and forced the action enough in the second half to get to the free throw line which was the difference in the final score.

Despite the loss, MSU finishes the difficult part of the first half of their season 8-1 with wins over Kentucky, Arkansas, and North Carolina and a 1-0 start to the Big Ten season. Carson Cooper’s individual performance was impressive as he finished with 15 points and a career high16 rebounds while guarding Duke’s best player, Cameron Boozer. Meanwhile, despite his shooting woes, Jeremy Fears logged 13 assists to just 1 turnover to lead the Spartans.

December 5, 2025: A lot of movement in the seed list since we last had a show. The new number one overall seed is Michigan who joins Duke, Arizona, and Purdue on the one line. Two seeds are Michigan State, Iowa State, Vanderbilt, and UConn. BYU, Alabama, Houston, and Gonzaga are the 3s with Kansas, UNC, Louisville, and Tennessee rounding things out at the 4.

The conference rankings are just about set. Dom has the Big Ten leading the way over the Big 12, SEC, ACC, and then Big East. However, if one just used NET rankings the SEC might be the most consistently deep leagues just without any teams at the top.

December 4, 2025: One of the most anticipated home games of the season for Michigan State is finally here - Duke. And the game is turning out to be even bigger than most expected as both teams enter the game undefeated and ranked in the top ten. Duke arrives with national player of the year front runner, Cameron Boozer, who has been tearing teams apart in just about every aspect of the game.

Of course, Michigan State is not slouch either as they will see if their elite offensive rebounding and home court advantage is enough to topple the Blue Devils. Duke is 2-0 in the Breslin in Tom Izzo’s tenure and he is certainly looking to turn that around if possible.

December 2, 2025: Michigan State opened up Big Ten play in East Lansing against the Iowa Hawkeyes and their new head coach, Ben McCollum and won 71-52 The win moves MSU to 8-0 overall and 1-0 in conference play in the young season. It was a game that MSU controlled from about the 6 minute mark after completing a 13-0 run to knock the Hawkeyes out of the game.

Probably the biggest key to the Spartans’ success in the game was the performance of Jeremy Fears, Jr. in running the offense and defending Iowa point guard, Bennett Stirtz. Stirtz looked rattled in the first half missing all but one of this field goal attempts and only 1 of 4 from the free throw line. Additionally, Michigan State crushed the Hawkeyes on the boards pulling down 56% of their misses and had a 21-6 edge in second chance points.

So now the Spartans await the arrival of Duke on Saturday in what will be the last high major team they will face (aside from Penn State on the road) before the calendar changes.

November 30, 2025: Michigan State returns home after a successful Florida trip with wins over East and North Carolina. But now Big Ten play begins with a matchup over a tricky undefeated Iowa team in East Lansing. It will be the first trip to the Breslin for new head coach Ben McCollum and almost the entire team except for transfer Brendan Hausen.

The question for the Spartans is whether they can maintain their connectedness on defense and offense against a stingy Iowa team that is going to play very slowly. Can Iowa’s senior point guard, Bennett Stirtz, keep his poise and remain a dominant presence or will Jeremy Fears, Jr. impose his will on the Hawkeyes?
